Diploma in Social Change and Solidarity

Social Change and Solidarity is a two-year pre-university profile leading to a Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC) in Social Science at Dawson College. The program introduces the social sciences and gives students theoretical and practical tools to analyze the social, political, economic, and historical contexts of the world around them. The profile includes an experiential-learning component in the second year, offered as either a global field trip or local community engagement, connecting classroom theory to applied social-change work. It is intended for students planning to continue into university programs in the social sciences, international development, or related fields. Graduates receive Profile 300.GM of the DEC in Social Science. The program is delivered over four academic semesters of full-time study at Dawson College.
